Inside V Outside Strategies
When Donald Trump
ran against very Presidential Obama,
that he did not look
or sound like a win/win public sector leader,
or even commit to expanding healthy democracy,
worked well for him.
His favorite public relations strategy
is to win first place coverage on the evening news
by whatever entertaining means available.
This helped him win the electoral college
playing to a Christian RightWing
and straight white patriarchal-capitalist privileged
left-brain military-industrialized
win/lose monoculturally dominant
Base
As an inexperienced
entrepreneurially successful entertainer,
a wealthy self-made star,
a corporate-savvy business manager
ready for the big disempowering liberals screen
As viewed by those hungry for anyone
who would recite the RightWing mantra
that Right to Life
does not imply
Right to Public/Private Health,
regenerative
cooperative well-being
of all sacred organic LifeSystems,
Liberal and conservative
and all multiculturing varieties
of lovers and compassioners,
saints and sinners,
in between
Which is more of a right-brain
interdependent
both/and holistic
Holy Spirit way
of revisioning 20/20 bicameral life
revisiting mature
experienced
co-empowering
co-enlightening
bilateral nonpolarized Truths.
Anyway,
Trump's strategy
backfires as re-issued
from the White House in 2020
now more than ever
dominating lead story national news
still looking
and resounding
alarmingly unpresidential.
Make America Great Again
by disempowering Liberals again
and by Grabbing Earth's Balls and **** Again
looks and feels tarnished
swampish,
yet another rich entitled
straight white patriarchal
scumbag politician
living in a powerful mansion
with nothing to say
about my mental/physical health,
nothing to support healthy family life,
no clue about affordable health care,
denying the biggest crisis of global history,
our international health emergency
and wealth crisis
also known as climate warming,
no ideas about empowering multiculturally healthy democracy
rooted in public trust-governed cooperative win/win systems,
no messages for those seeking natural or spiritual health,
bereft of any hope
for ecological or theological safety.
His biggest asset for the 2016 presidential election
is now his deepest
and widest liability
for 2020 re-election
as a RealTime BiCamerally EcoTherapeutic President,
Who sounds
and looks
and possibly smells
and touches
and feels democratically health-wealthy
Presidential;
not quite so greasy fast-food swampish,
grabby,
greedy,
narcissistic;
more of a fatuous
fascism evangelizing clown
than a facetious entertainer.
